About the World Cup coverage on ESPN....

What's with the loud buzzing in the background ?
Anyone know what the hell that is ?
:shrug:

I've never been to South Africa, does the air sound differently there ?

It was the airhorns.......annoying as hell watching on TV. But imagine being in the crowd:scared

Sell these at the stadium and make a ton of cash:

thanks kick
made it pretty unwatchable for me
I had to put some music on and put the TV on mute
is that gonna go on every game?

Not sure I can get into that

I watched on three different networks, some were a little easier on the ears then others. But all of em were annoying.

I would guess it would be the worst for the games that the African teams play in, they love those horns.

I am sure all the networks will try to do something about the "background noise". Guess we will see what the other games are like:shrug:

I can tell you one thing, it would suck if you were in the crowd and had that noise pounding in your ear

They've actually cut the noise 20% since last summer

 

[kickserv]

Need to cut it another 60%

FYI they call those horns Booboozelas

Vuvuzela (b in Spanish in most cases is pronounced with the v sound).
